WHITE BLEEDING HEART 
DICENTRA *formosa Sweetheart — An outstanding 
newcomer with perfect heart-shaped blooms of 
purest white suspended from gracefully arched 
stems over cool, green, dainty, cut foliage. The 
charming, pendant clusters follow one another 
in endless succession from mid-Spring till frost. 
This rare, hardy variety increases very satisfac- 
torily when planted in rich, woodsy soil which is 
moist and has continuous light to heavy, high 
shade. The classic foliage and shapely white 
blossoms blend well with all woodland plants, 
especially ferns, and make this a distinctive plant 
for naturalizing. Dicentra Sweetheart is deli- 
cately fragrant and also has strong, 15-inch stems 
for cutting. We consider this new, ever-bloom- 
ing, White Bleeding Heart one of the finest plants 
introduced in recent years and cannot recom-

DELPHINIUM Ruysii Pink Sensation (Plant Patent No. ane $ ree $2.75, 
nae ae six $5.00, large field grown plants, each $1.50. 
324) —This especially fine Delphinium originated 
in Hoiland and is the only hardy, perennial, pink 
variety worthy of the name. It is truly a sensa- 

tion in the Delphinium world! The abundant 
gorgeous blooms on sturdy stems are an unusual 
and interesting shade of salmon buff as they be- 
gin to open. This shade subtly passes to a charm- 
ing salmon pink and finally, the fully opened 
blosscems become a wonderful rose pink. Pink 
Sensation produces an amazing number of blooms 
during late Spring and early Summer and again in 
the Fall if sheared. The 242 to 3'2 foot plants 
branch freely, producing an airy effect and give 
a wealth of distinctive cut flowers. 
Delphinium Pink Sensation is noted for its 
hardiness and vigor and often succeeds where 
other Delphiniums fail. Give it a moderately 
good, loamy soil and a warm, sunny spot that 
has good drainage. Water well while growing, 
less when dormant. Strong blooming size plants 
from pots or the field, depending on the season. 
Each $1.50, three $4.00, six $7.50. CLOSE UP OF THE WHITE BLEEDING HEART
